general purpose lane exits the freeway at Palladium Drive. Immediately
beyond the bullnose for the Palladium Drive interchange, the high occupancy
restriction of the HOV lane ends and the lane continues as a new general
purpose lane. Photo taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

View as the ramp to Terry Fox Drive departs from the freeway mainline.
Note that a pre-advanced sign was not installed on this overhead sign
support in advance of the Eagleson Road interchange. Although MTO's
Book 8 is not exactly specific on when a pre-advanced sign is warranted on
an overhead sign support, the lack of a pre-advanced sign in this location
is not consistent with how other suburban freeways are signed in other
regions of the province. Photo taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

of rock that separated the eastbound and westbound carriageways east of the

Two views looking westerly towards the Terry Fox Drive interchange from the Kanata Avenue

The westbound advanced signage for Terry Fox Drive uses the incorrect
advanced arrow sign. A yellow "exit/sortie" bar should not be used on
this signage because the right hand lane of the freeway is not forced as an
exiting lane at the Terry Fox Drive interchange. Instead, a new speed
change lane develops downstream of this overhead signage for the exit. Photo taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

Westbound advanced signage for the off-ramp to Castlefrank Road. The
wrong advanced arrow sign was used on this signage. A yellow
"exit/sortie" bar should have been used beneath the arrows, as the
right-most freeway lane exits the freeway at this interchange. Photo taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

Two views looking easterly from the Eagleson Road overpass. When the upper
photos were taken in September of 2009, the Eagleson Road interchange marked
the temporary western terminus of a multi-stage widening project that saw
Highway 417 widened to six and eight lanes between Highway 7 and Highway
416. The lower photo was taken shortly after the second and final
stage of the project had been completed in 2014. Upper photos taken: September 12th, 2009. Lower photos taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

Westbound exit signage for the ramp to Eagleson Road, and March Road in
Kanata. Notice that Kanata is still used as a control city despite the
amalgamation of Ottawa into a single-tier 'mega-city' in 2001. The
identities of the former cities that made up Metropolitan Toronto are not
similarly signed in this fashion. Click

this location taken before Highway 417 was widened in July, 2005, and

September, 2009. Photo taken: May 22nd, 2015. |

Signage at the ramp to Highway 416. Notice the rather unconventional
signage for the ramp to Holly Acres and Richmond Roads -- this is the only
sign like this in the province -- typically advanced signage is marked with
curved arrows. Photo taken: July 1st, 2012. |

The ramp to Holly Acres and Richmond Roads departs the Queensway from the
right-most lane from the freeway. Through Kanata the highway has six lanes
plus an HOV lane in each direction. East of Highway 416, the Queensway has
only six basic lanes with sporadic auxiliary lanes between interchanges. Photo taken: July 1st, 2012. |
